From the ground up.

Sharing an 800 square ft., albeit charming, home with a husband and a dog is starting to lose it's appeal. Quickly. I am beginning to understand that I am going to need to carve out some space of my own so that I can focus on the task at hand - after all, it's only my dream and impending future happiness, right? No big deal. Unfortunately inside our Longfellow bungalow, there is nothing left for me to carve. This leaves me to join the coffee house work force. Starbucks has to be my favorite coffee, but what about supporting my fellow Minnesotan conglomerate Caribou Coffee? There's the new Peace Coffee down the street, which just would seem wrong to overlook - as well as numerous other local gems. Good thing I am nearing my goal of taking my coffee black, or I might drink my way into debt before I even take out the loan. Thankfully, blogging is best done at home. With the dog and the husband close by.


This is normal.
